"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable.""We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful.""You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance.""Tintri VMstore is rock solid. We have not had a single issue with stability. It is also very low maintenance allowing us to concentrate on project work.""It’s very good at IOPS.""The Deduplication feature in VDI environments. If Tintri says we can host 3000 VMs in our storage, I know we can host 3000 VMs there. Believe the results.""The most valuable feature is the VM management.""Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."

Cons
"The security performance and cost.""Microsoft Virtual Server needs to improve its patching. It should offer us a review before updates. The solution should also improve its pricing.""The pricing and scalability are areas of the product with shortcomings where improvements are required.""Support could always be a bit better.""The product must reduce the cost by 40%.""The interface should be improved.""The solution’s stability could be improved.""Server security can always be improved."

"Their current replication is really just enough to "check the box" that they do replication. We'll probably implement Actifio, Zerto or EMC RecoverPoint for VMs for more critical data replication.""Technical support is an area where we had several issues, and it was hard to get some support in a specific case we had. I'm not very satisfied with them.""The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this.""Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features.""In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing.""Speed of our VDI machines. We have a very high log in and log out ratio and machines are being refreshed instantly so we have a constant boot storm on our storage.""The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great.""Their support staff just doesn't have the experience with all of the products that we're running. They don't know the 850 series like we do because it's five years old. There is a little bit of a gap, and that may just be because we're an old customer running on platforms that their staff hasn't seen. I would like to see an improvement in their in-depth knowledge of their older products."
